Abstract: Provided is a system for and a method of processing an optical fiber, such as tapering an optical fiber. The method includes receiving fiber parameters defining characteristics of an optical fiber, modeling an idealized fiber based on the fiber parameters to establish modeled data, and establishing processing parameters. A processing operation is performed on the optical fiber according to the processing parameters to produce a resultant fiber. Aspects of the resultant fiber are measured to establish measured data. The measured data and the modeled data are normalized to a common axis and a difference between the two is determined. The processing parameters are adjusted based on the differences.

Abstract: A method of making a fiberoptic light guide utilizes a hollow glass cladding blackened by chemical reduction. The cladding has a predetermined lead content and is heated to an elevated temperature in an atmosphere of substantially 100% hydrogen gas in a furnace. The blackening step is accomplished before or after a bundle of optic fibers is inserted within the cladding and is drawn to produce a fused fiberoptic rod. The blackening step provides the cladding with a black opaque nature that inhibits the transmission of light transversely through the cladding.

Abstract: This invention relates to an optical fibre that comprises a core (4) of lower refractive index that is surrounded by a cladding which includes regions of a higher refractive index and is substantially periodic, where the core (4) has a longest transverse dimension that is longer than a single, shortest period of the cladding. In a fibre of this type light is substantially confined to the core area by virtue of the photonic band gap of the cladding material. The invention also relates to a method of manufacturing such an optical fibre, comprising the steps of forming a stack of canes (5), the stack (5) including at least one truncated cane (6) that defines an aperture (7), and then drawing the stack (5) into a fibre having an elongate cavity. The fibre is suitable for high power uses, but is equally suitable for other areas, e.g. optical amplifiers, spectral filters, lasers, gas sensors and telecommunications networks.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for depositing a high density biological or chemical array onto a solid support. Specifically, the apparatus is made up of a plurality of open ended channels collectively forming a matrix. The matrix has been redrawn and cut such that the pitch of the channels on the loading end is larger than the pitch of the channels on the liquid delivery end. The upper portion of each channel serves as a reservoir, while the opposing end, which has been formed by the redrawing process, is diametrically sized such that liquid in the reservoir is retained by capillary pressure at the delivery end. At any point along the height of the capillary reservoir device, all cross-sectional dimensions and areas are uniformly reduced. In other words, the on-center orientation of any two channels, also referred to as the pitch between 2 channels, measured as a function of the diameter of any cross section, is constant throughout the structure. The liquid within the channels is either printed directly from the tool onto a substrate or transferred to a substrate by a typographical pin plate. In another embodiment, the device may be used in transferring sample between multiwell plates of different well density.

Abstract: An automated method and apparatus for making optical fiber couplers is disclosed. The apparatus includes various processing stations under the control of a programmable controller. A fiber feeding system receives a set of optical fibers from a reel and guides them to the various processing stations. The fibers are guided into a fiber insertion fixture. The insertion fixture moves the fibers to the aperture of a glass capillary tube. The fibers are then stripped of a portion of their coating. The feeding system feeds the stripped fibers through the insertion fixture and into the glass tube. The fibers are severed and terminated. Subsequently, a burner heats the glass tube, causing it to collapse around the fibers to form a fiber coupler.

Abstract: A rod of etchable core glass material is inserted within a lead glass sleeve and heated in a furnace to drawing temperature and drawn from the furnace into a fiber. The lower end of the glass sleeve is collapsed around the core glass, thereby sealing the sleeve to the core rod. A vacuum is drawn on the space between the rod and the sleeve while in the furnace for outgassing the rod and sleeve and for eliminating gas tending to be trapped between the core fiber and its sleeve. In a subsequent step, a multitude of such glass fibers are assembled in a bundle, inserted within an evacuable glass sleeve, and heated to the softening point while drawing a vacuum on the bundle of fibers and the interior of the sleeve for further outgassing of the fibers. While the assembly is in the furnace, the exterior of the sleeve is pressurized to fuse the assembly of glass fibers together and to the sleeve to form a final boule which is subsequently transversely sliced to form plates which are etched to remove the core glass.
